No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Jiang Shu opened the door, then froze, and looked at the other person warily.

"It's you? Who are you?"

The fake Depp outside the door smiled slightly: "For someone who has pulled off such a big stunt, it's surprising how ordinary your reaction is to see me again."

"So what do you want me to do? Invite you in for a cup of tea?"

"Then we won't need to."

The other party waved their hand:

"It's about time for me to leave this world. I won't stay for long, so there's no need for tea. I'll just say a few words and then leave."

Leaving this world...

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes: "You're the evolved being who's been hiding and hasn't shown yourself all this time?"

The pigeon was beyond saving after being hit with the strawberry milkshake.

Radish and Cabbage clearly intended to attack Jiang Shu, but she didn't have time and only exhaled, which was enough to lead to her death. Strawberry Milkshake had already dealt with her.

Jiang Shu thought there were no other evolved beings, but he discovered that this suspicious person he had been thinking about was not simple at all.

To Jiang Shu's surprise, the other party denied this.

"It's true that I'm hiding, and it's true that I'm an evolved being, but I'm probably not the kind of evolved being from your era that you imagine."

The other person shrugged:

“I think Adam has already mentioned me to you.”

"Who is Adam?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled.

"Oh, so you don't know his name?" The other person suddenly realized, "It's the one you call Da Hong Pao."

Jiang Shu's expression changed, and she asked in shock, "You're his friend?"

"Yes, yes, you finally noticed." The other person seemed quite satisfied with Jiang Shu's reaction: "That's the expression I wanted."

"How could you...?"

"How did I end up here?"

The other party smiled:

"There are many reasons, such as the long-dormant incubator suddenly reopening, or this incubator having a very important secret that I cannot tell you right now, or you being one of the evolved beings who came."

"Do you know me?" Jiang Shu asked subconsciously.

"I gave you something, have you forgotten?" The other person said, seemingly a little sad, "That pocket item was clearly such a precious calamity-level item, how could you forget?"

"You are..." Jiang Shu was taken aback: "That white-bearded doll from the Creative Workshop?"

"Honestly, I thought you would recognize me because of our bond, but I had to remind you."

The other person shook their head, then smiled:

"So, as a way of repaying you for giving me two wonderful performances and for letting me watch some 'lying' shows that I didn't have back then during my recent free time, let me give you something else."

As he spoke, he took out a black card from his pocket, made of some unknown metal, and handed it to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu curiously took it, and the next moment, a description of such an item appeared in his mind—

[Level 1 Access]

[Level: Catastrophe]

[Description: An anchor point, and also a communication tool...]

What is this?

Jiang Shu asked in surprise.

Both the name and the level are a bit too plain and unpretentious in their domineering nature.

"You're not qualified to have the lowest level access card, but since you're someone I approve of, I trust no one else will object to me giving it to you."

The other party explained:

"You can think of it as a special tool made by people like us. With it, you can freely enter the hatcheries you have already conquered. With level one access, you can choose to come back at any time within three days from the time you leave."

Furthermore, you can also use it to connect with other people like us, but you'd better not do that yet. Even if you do, it's best not to reveal your identity. Although we're the same kind of people, others may not be as easy to get along with as I am.

As for other uses, you can figure that out yourself. I'm in a hurry, I have to go to the next venue.

“What do you mean…” Jiang Shu frowned: “People like us?”

"Hmm..." The other person thought for a moment, "It's probably someone who enjoys the incubator and can bring a little shock to it. You'll find out what that's like later."

"So, you've been living in the incubator all this time?" Jiang Shu asked seriously.

“Yes.” The other person nodded with a smile: “If you want to be like me, then keep working hard. Once you get Level 3 access, you’ll be able to see the real fun in the incubator.”

As he spoke, he turned to leave, seemingly in a real hurry: "Alright, that's enough for now. Thank you again for bringing me joy. I really have to go now."

"Wait, what should I call you?"

Upon hearing this, the other person pointed to their head, grinned, and said, "Bewilderment, you call me bewilderment, but I'll call you dedication."

"Oh, right."

He was about to take a step when he suddenly remembered something:

"The Scales of Truth can be upgraded with Anti-Magic Stones. They are actually the same thing. Don't forget to visit the temple before you leave."

Jiang Shu was taken aback again.

Before he could even open his mouth, he heard the other person say again, "Then, see you at the Love and Desire Incubator."

In the blink of an eye, the confusion vanished, as if it had never existed.

Jiang Shu closed the door, deep in thought.

"Even the 'Truth-Seeking Balance' was his doing...?"

"He gave it to me through that eighth-tier illusory poet who was disguised as the NPC village chief in the beginner's village..."

Looking down at the black card in his hand, Jiang Shu frowned.

The moment he put the black card into his warehouse, the card was linked to his account.

[Liestown] appeared in the card's additional details as an optional entry.

This means that from now on, he can enter Lies Town at any time. For him, it is no longer just an incubator, but a real world.

"Who are the same kind of people as us...?"

"Confusion... dedication... could they all be evolved beings with calamity-level skills?"

It was at this moment.

Windsor came out of the kitchen carrying a pot.

"Dinner's ready!"

Jiang Shu silently raised her head.

Anyway, things are getting more and more interesting.

Interesting is precisely why I became an evolver.

And with this Level 1 access card, there's no need to worry about how to explain to Windsor that he'll be leaving for a long time, or even forever.

Even if many years have passed, as long as she is happy and chooses the next day as the time, then for Windsor, it will only be one day since she has not seen her.

This made him feel much more at ease.

“I’m here,” he replied.

......

That night.

After returning from the temple, Jiang Shu met Strawberry Milkshake, who had been waiting for him, in the garden of the Chamber of Commerce.

"What took you so long?" Strawberry Milkshake seemed to be getting impatient.

"It's nothing," Jiang Shu said casually.

Strawberry Milkshake was already used to Jiang Shu's riddle-like behavior and had no interest in asking any more questions.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "But are we really just going to leave like this? Without saying goodbye? This farewell might be forever."

Jiang Shu scoffed: "Didn't you say before that they were just NPCs?"

“That’s because… never mind.” Strawberry Milkshake seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed and said, “But I’m quite surprised that you would come with me. I thought you would run away.”

“It’s no use.” Jiang Shu shook his head regretfully: “We’ve been here for so long. Even if I left earlier than you, from the outside perspective, we still appear to have returned on time within twelve hours.”

“But you can kill me in the hatchery,” Strawberry Milkshake said quietly.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Jiang Shu sneered:

"Evolvers can kill other people in the hatchery, but killing teammates will turn them into red names, and any benefits they gain in the hatchery will be reduced to an absurd degree."

Isn't that why I reluctantly entered this incubator while teaming up with you?

So, just to get rid of you, I have to suffer this punishment? What right do you have?

"You!" Strawberry Milkshake hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Although Jiang Shu's explicit statement that he wouldn't use his current power in the hatchery to harm her secretly pleased her, she still found this reason somewhat unacceptable.

So she said angrily:

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore! See you outside!"

After saying that, she left the incubator.

After she left, Jiang Shu rubbed his chin.

"By the way, will you see me first... or will you see Shen Mo, who's been lying in wait?"
